Installing PHP Mailparse
From Cerberus Helpdesk Wiki
If your PHP5 environment doesn't already have the 'mailparse' extension installed then you'll need to add it

[edit] Using PECL
Generally, installation can be accomplished with a simple command at the server console:
pecl install mailparse
This should retrieve, compile and install the extension. You'll usually need to enable the mailparse extension in your php.ini file by hand. This is accomplished in various ways for different OS/distributions.
In most cases you can simply add the following line to your php.ini:
extension=mailparse.so
[edit] FreeBSD Issue
You may need to edit the pecl script (usually /usr/local/bin/pecl) and remove the ‘-n’ from the command line arguments.[1]
[edit] For RHEL 5
wget http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/php-pecl-mailparse/php-pecl-mailparse-2.1.1-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm rpm -i php-pecl-mailparse-2.1.1-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm service httpd reload
If your installed version of PHP does not match the system installed version, then these steps can fail with the following error in your PHP log:
PHP Warning: PHP Startup: mailparse: Unable to initialize module Module compiled with module API=[date1], debug=0, thread-safety=0 PHP compiled with module API=[date2, debug=0, thread-safety=0 These options need to match in Unknown on line 0
To fix this you will need to first remove the RPM version of MailParse then compile MailParse automatically with pecl. Since mbstring is likely installed as an RPM, rather than through pecl, it won't recognize it as being already installed. As a result of this you must use the '-n' (no dependencies) flag when installing with pecl.
rpm -e php-pecl-mailparse pecl install -n mailparse

[edit] On Windows-based Servers (XAMPP)
If you're using XAMPP, or a similar distribution, you probably already have the mailparse extension available.
- Edit your php.ini file (use http://localhost/cerb4/install/phpinfo.php to identify the correct php.ini file, since it is not unusual to have several different ones)
- Remove the ';' in front of the line:
;extension=php_mailparse.dll
- Save your php.ini file
- Restart Apache

[edit] Additional Notes
[edit] mbstring before mailparse
Also don't forget to load the mbstring extension before you load mailparse.
For example, in the php.ini place in this order:
extension=php_mbstring.dll extension=php_mailparse.dll
Or you will get an error.

[edit] Configure Error
If you get the "checking whether the C compiler works... configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs." error, check the mount permissions on your /tmp directory. You may need to remount /tmp as executable.
# mount | grep /tmp /dev/sda3 on /tmp type ext3 (rw) /tmp on /var/tmp type none (rw,noexec,nosuid,bind) # mount -o remount,exec,suid /tmp
do your compiling, then
# mount -o remount,noexec,nosuid /tmp
